Kumbh Mela In Allahabad
Indian holy men of Alakh Community dress up before going out to ask for alms in various religious community camps , during Kumbh Mela in Allahabad on January 23, 2019. Lakhs of sadhus, saints, saints and devotees have reached the banks of Saint Sangam to get rid of enchantment and illusion of life. This is a rain of fortune festival for the sadhu saints. In this Ardha Kumbh, different kind of ascetic monks come and one of those sadhus is Nath Bhikshu, who is responsible for feeding sadhu's and monks t for the sadhu sect is called as Darbar tradition. Alakh Niranjan is the term used by the Nath yogis, this is the other name of Lord Shiva which means one cannot be seen or perceived and has no impurity. Life of the saints of Alkh Darbar is filled with renunciation and penance. This is God's seeker of Shiva. Mind Karma and the word for all Shiva While asking for alms, they only pronounce the word 'Alakh Niranjan'. The special thing is that they do not beg for standing or sitting down. During this time, they keep on walking in a queue not dispersed and sadhus have to run toward them to give alms to them. They spend their livelihood through the food they get as Bhiksha(beg), first they edifice the food as offering to Lord Shiva, then feed the poor helpless monks and sadhu, s. After this, the remaining offerings take as the blessings of God and they feed themselves. For many days, these sadhus calm down the hunger by just drinking water when they do not get food, but they do not ask for help from anyone by spreading their hands. This group gets very little see in posh cities. They come at any particular festival or event, otherwise, they do not dwell in cities or towns. Their Complete life is dedicated to Shiva. These are considered to be the composition of Shiva as their waist is tied with bell, which is the ornament of the vehicle of Lord Shiva Nandi. When they walk, people leave the way with the eagle of the bell. Morality has been changed in this modern world it
